Max Wind Speed Readings

Question

Hi there,

I've been using open2300 for a couple of weeks with a WS-2350. I've noticed that there's a difference between the maximum wind speed displayed on the screen and returned by fetch2300. The screen shows a maximum of around 63 km/h but fetch2300 returns "WSmax 17.4". using dump2300 (dump2300 data 04F4 04F7) returns:

Address: 04F5|04F4 - Data: 78
Address: 04F7|04F6 - Data: 18

Any ideas what is causing the differences and how to get the actual maximum from the weather station?

Thanks,

Neil

UPDATE:

It looks like the issue was that fetch2300 returns the max windspeed in m/s, not km/h as I had thought. Everything does match up!

Environment

Open2300 version:	1.10
Libraries:	mysql, postgresql
Server OS:	Ubuntu 8.04
